Open house THURSDAY 10/22 from 4-6PM. What if your front yard were Tower Grove Park? This gorgeous brand-new fee-simple townhome sits directly across from the park, putting one of St. Louis’ most vibrant, walkable neighborhoods essentially at your doorstep. Think kickball leagues, bi-weekly farmers markets, yoga, Festival of Nations, Pride, Harvest Festival—and the luxury of having your own oversized attached two-car garage when the neighborhood gets busy. Once you go attached, it’s hard to go back! Inside, the design is every bit as compelling as the location. The roughly 3,300-square-foot layout is undeniably generous, but it’s the kind of space that makes sense when you value options, privacy, and beautifully designed surroundings more than simply having more rooms. The main level offers a private bedroom suite and its own kitchenette, along with direct access to the oversized two-car garage. It’s an ideal setup for guests, a parent, an adult child, a nanny—or simply a private retreat when you want separation from the rest of the house. Upstairs is where the party starts! :) The second-floor living room is framed by soaring views of Tower Grove Park, while a covered balcony gives you the perfect perch for morning coffee, an evening drink, or just watching the neighborhood come to life. The dining space flows into a jaw-dropping kitchen with sophisticated finishes, serious functionality, and a butler’s pantry that is almost too good to hide. And then there’s the door off the kitchen leading to your own private rooftop deck--yesss! The uppermost floor adds an impressive primary suite with sweeping park views from its windows as well as its private balcony facing the park, drool-invoking walk-in closet/dressing room & a spa-like bath you're never going to want to leave. You'll also find two additional bedrooms, another full bathroom & a convenient laundry room. With dual en-suite living areas—one on the main floor and one on the third—this home offers a level of flexibility that's hard to find in the city. And while you may not *need* 3,300 square feet, you may decide you really enjoy having it; especially when that space comes with brand-new construction, modern architecture, elevated finishes, a private rooftop, covered outdoor living, a two-car attached garage, and one of the most enviable park-front locations in the city. For someone who wants the energy and convenience of urban living without sacrificing privacy, design, or a little extra room to indulge, this is a pretty exceptional way to live in Tower Grove South.

Welcome home to modern city living in the heart of the Grove. Built in 2020 as the builder's display home, 4424 Vista Avenue was finished with the kind of care and detail you'd expect in a custom build. It sits on a block of newer contemporary homes just a few blocks from Manchester Avenue. Quality shows from the curb, with low-maintenance Nichiha fiber-cement siding, insulated Kolbe casement windows, and a covered front entry. Step inside and the main level opens up front to back, with 9-foot ceilings, recessed lighting, and engineered hardwood throughout. The dining room greets you at the front, framed by corner windows. It flows into a kitchen that's easy to gather around. The oversized quartz waterfall island has an undermount sink and room for stools. You'll also find gray Shaker cabinetry with tall pantry storage and stainless appliances, including a KitchenAid gas range and a newer refrigerator. In the living room, a striking open-tread staircase with solid wood treads and a metal railing takes center stage, and clerestory windows fill the space with natural light. At the back, a roomy mud room with a built-in bench and cubbies keeps everyday life organized. It opens right onto the deck. A main-level powder room is convenient for guests. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat. It has two closets, both outfitted with new custom organizers, and a bath with a dual-sink quartz vanity and a walk-in shower with a tile surround and frameless glass. Two more bedrooms share a hall bath with a tiled tub/shower. One has a full wall of closets and a view of the homes across the street. Laundry is on the bedroom level, so there's no hauling baskets up and down the stairs. Zoned HVAC keeps every level comfortable. The partially finished lower level brings a fun, industrial feel. It has exposed ceiling joists, a durable metallic epoxy floor, knotty pine walls, and 9-foot foundation walls. Use it as a rec room, home gym, office, or a place to watch the game. A freestanding bar with two stools is included. The lower-level full bath is a showstopper, with pine plank walls and ceiling, a marble-topped vanity, matte black fixtures, and a freestanding soaking tub. Outdoor living is where this home really shines. Step from the mud room onto a generous deck with a modern metal railing, then down to the paver patio and covered gazebo. The gazebo has a ceiling fan, string lights, and a mounted TV that stays with the home, so it's ready for game nights rain or shine. The yard is fully fenced. Beyond it sits something rare in the city: a 2-car detached garage off the alley, with a quiet wall-mounted opener and overhead storage racks. The sellers have thoughtfully cared for and improved the home. Updates include a new patio door, front storm door, and front window, custom closet systems, the patio and gazebo, a replacement sump pump, a professionally installed waterproofing system, and a security system. They also finished the lower level and added its full bath. Just a few blocks away, the Grove offers some of the city's favorite restaurants, breweries, and live music. Forest Park, the Central West End, the Missouri Botanical Garden, BJC/WashU Medical Campus, and Cortex are all minutes away, with quick access to I-64 and I-44. Modern design, thoughtful upgrades, and a great location make this one you'll want to see in person.

Premier luxury living in downtown’s premier location, The Syndicate puts an extraordinary collection of restaurants, entertainment, culture and everyday conveniences virtually at your doorstep. From the building, you can stroll to Citygarden, Kiener Plaza, Ballpark Village and the Gateway Arch, while the grocery store is conveniently accessible by elevator without ever having to step outside. Add to that one of downtown’s most impressive packages of resident amenities, and it is easy to understand why The Syndicate has long been regarded as one of the city’s premier addresses. And condo 1404 is a perfect example of a premier residence within the building to complement its prestigious address. Located on the 14th floor—the building’s only floor featuring distinctive arched windows—this spacious one-bedroom residence combines sophisticated design, an efficient floor plan and an elevated western perspective that frames beautiful sunset views at the end of each day. Inside, the residence offers a remarkably efficient floor plan where every square foot has a purpose. The living room flows naturally into the open kitchen, creating a comfortable space for both everyday living and entertaining, while two large windows fill the main living area with natural light and showcase the western views. A center island anchors the kitchen, complemented by beautifully rich, dark wood flooring that adds warmth and sophistication throughout the living spaces. Just off the kitchen, a dedicated space is perfectly suited for a dining table or, perhaps even better, a stylish home office. The private bedroom is generously sized and features an enormous walk-in closet, providing the storage that is so often missing from downtown one-bedroom residences. A convenient utility room just off the kitchen houses a high-end washer and dryer while also providing additional in-unit storage. The residence also includes private garage parking in the heated garage with EV capabilities, along with a private storage cage conveniently located in a climate-controlled room within the building. And there may be no better time to be part of downtown. A new era of investment and activity is taking shape, with the highly anticipated Wash Ave Food Hall expected to open this fall, adding another destination for dining and entertainment just blocks away. Downtown has also taken another important step forward with the establishment of the Downtown St. Louis Sports & Entertainment Community Improvement District, while new state legislation signed by Governor Mike Kehoe expands development incentives designed to encourage investment and redevelopment in downtown St. Louis. Together, these initiatives signal a renewed commitment to downtown’s future—and make The Syndicate an especially compelling place to call home as that momentum continues to build.

This home has a point of view! Wrapped in natural stone and dramatic charcoal siding with oversized black-framed windows, this home's architectural silhouette feels almost like a modern mountain retreat rather than a city residence. It makes an impression before you even walk through the door. Inside, the mood shifts effortlessly. Warm wood floors temper crisp contemporary lines, while a striking glass-enclosed staircase becomes an architectural feature of its own. Open staircases to both the upper and lower levels extend sightlines from floor to floor, creating a sense of volume, connection, and light — giving the home a decidedly unexpected edge. The main level brings the living room, kitchen, and dining room together in one beautifully connected space, filled with natural light. At the center, an oversized rich blue island anchors the kitchen, surrounded by tailored cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. There's plenty of room to gather at the island, while the adjacent dining area is bright, spacious, and ready for hosting. There’s also a perfect city-sized backyard and patio with a privacy fence. Upstairs, you’ll find the bright and spacious primary suite featuring double closets, a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower, clerestory window, pocket door, and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms, a full hall bath with tub, and second-floor laundry complete the level. Don’t forget to make your way down to the lower level—which hardly feels like a basement at all. With 9-foot ceilings, more natural light, an egress window, and plumbing already in place for an additional bath, it's ready to become whatever you envision. Thoughtfully curated finishes throughout this special home create a sophisticated, warm aesthetic in one of the area's most dynamic neighborhoods, known for its thriving restaurant scene and convenient lifestyle amenities within walking distance. You’re a quick stroll or bike ride from St. Louis’ greatest parks and the Missouri Botanical Garden, with BJC, WashU, and SLU medical campuses just minutes away. Brand new sidewalks and bike paths await your adventures! A two-car garage adds another layer of convenience, although with this location, you may find yourself walking or biking more often than driving. Hurry and come see this unique beauty!
